All-Ireland QFs: Armagh/Roscommon, Dublin/Galway, Donegal/Louth, Kerry/Derry

[tyrone08]

Dropping knees, sneaky digs and boring as fcuk.  Lost a bit of respect for Derry today.

Seemed more focused on getting in kerry faces rather than playing football. Unreal the drop in discipline in derry this year.

[Armagh18]

Poor enough game. All 4 teams will fancy their chances now. Lads off the bench made a great impact for Kerry. Derry for being so well in it first half went out with a whimper in the second.

Clifford gone off the boil? (Probably score 2-7 against us now!)

[5times5times]

Donegal 10/11 vs 6/5 Galway (1pt hdcp)
Kerry 4/11 vs 11/4 Armagh (4pt hdcp)

[gallsman]

Only saw the one replay but I'm not convinced McKaigue did anything particularly malicious. Clifford had spilled the ball and lashed out a boot to save it by kicking it backwards and out tripped the pair of them.

[Rossfan]

Why did Glass not get a card for the "Fallon type foul"??

[Armagh18]

Donegal 10/11 vs 6/5 Galway (1pt hdcp)
Kerry 4/11 vs 11/4 Armagh (4pt hdcp)

11/4 that we get within 4 of Kerry? Is that how that works?

4/11 to win, but have handicapped kerry by 4pt favorites

No 11/4 is the game, the handicap means that Armagh + 4 is about evens.
Armagh have a free shot here, all the talk will be about Kerry.

[Derryman forever]

I was in favour of Mickey Harte coming.
I am now in favour of him going.
This team appears to have lost cohesion discipline and desire under his tenure.

But realistically Derry are short 3 good forwards to ever really threaten  an AI.

I'd fire a few quid on Armagh plus 4 then.

Nearly would have suited us that Kerry tanked Derry there, but given we weren't great either Kerry will be talked up as firm favourites.

Great to see 3 teams that haven't made semis much or at all in the last decade go through. Donegal and Galway is 50/50 imo mightn't be a classic but will be tight.

[yellowcard]

I think we seen again today that Kerry struggle to break down a solid defensive structure so that augurs well for us in the semi final. I'd expect another cagey game (what game isn't now) of cat and mouse and I'm hoping that our forwards can produce more up front than Derry. 

We mightnt have a Clifford but I think we have all round more quality up front than Kerry. I think at this stage we were due to face up to a Kerry or a Dublin to test our mettle and find out if we have what it takes to win the All Ireland.

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Better team won.
Best of luck to all the semi-finalists.

Derry were not the only ones at the sneaky digs!!

Didn't see the McKaigue incident but talking to a good few who said there was absolutely nothing in it.

Not as disappointed as last year but still wish we had went for it after that bit of a lift we got from Rogers score.

The damage Armagh and Donegal did against our press meant we never fully committed to it today which is a pity because any time we went long we competed well for the ball.

Would your good friend be a Derry man by any chance? It was one of them where if you're a Derry man you'd say not a lot, if anything, in it. If you're a Kerry man you'd have wanted him sent off

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

Dreadful match. No surprise Derry played in that fashion but I certainly didn't expect Kerry to be be so conservative. Going by Brian Ó Beaglaoich's interview that was actually the game plan too. Did they not watch any of Derry's games? They actually gave Derry a chance by playing in that fashion.

I couldn't understand Derry bringing in Mickey given he hadn't won a big Championship match in Croker for 15 (now 16) years and had consistently failed to find the balance between defence and attack in the past decade with Tyrone. Those were the two things Derry needed to address too - he was a baffling choice. Still didn't expect it to go quite so badly wrong though. Maybe Derry were always a bit short at the highest level anyway, but they certainly won't be competing for Sam with Mickey in charge.
